One of the best ways to enjoy the changing fall colors in Western North Carolina is through a hike. Join Buncombe County Parks & Recreation for scenic morning hikes this September and October. This hike series is a free four-pack of popular treks led by Parks and Recreation staff on weekday mornings. Ranging in difficulty from easy to moderate, explorers of all skill levels are invited to experience the fun of one hike, all four, or somewhere in between. Space is limited to 13 hikers and advanced registration is required. This is a great opportunity for everyone to participate, particularly for those who would like to hike with groups or have questions on how to begin hiking.
All hikes start at 10:30 a.m. and participants will meet on-site. There will be water and a few snacks available; participants are highly encouraged to bring their water bottles to fill up.
This scenic hike takes you through the ruins of Rattlesnake Lodge, a 1900s summer estate. The hike features hardwood forests with vibrant red, orange, and gold leaf colors during fall. Some ruins from the old lodge you can explore include a collection of stacked-stone foundations from the lodge, barn, tool house, spring house, swimming pool, and several surrounding buildings from the estate.
Length: 3.8 miles
